“your character is the sum total of your habits. You can’t claim to be kind unless you are habitually kind — you show kindness without even thinking about it. You can’t claim to have integrity unless it is your habit to always be honest.”
“It’s not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness.
